9 A separated B divided C distributed D shared
III Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions
Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun's rays Desert
mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body temperature
Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally
be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive build - up of heat does not begin until well into the day
Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be
fatal for non-adapted animals The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm
to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes
A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to dehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication
The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst
1 What is the main topic of the passage?
A Weather variations in the desert B Adaptations of desert animals
C Diseased of desert animals D Human use of desert animals
2 According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?
A It helps them hide from predators C It helps them see their young at night
B It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors D It keeps them cool atnight
3 The word "maintaining" is closest in meaning to
A measuring B inheriting C preserving D delaying
4 The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of
A an animal with a low average temperature
B an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel
C a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures
D a desert animal with a constant body temperature
5 When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?
A Just before sunrise B In the middle of the day
C Just after sunset D Just after drinking
6 The word "tolerate" is closest inmeaningto
A endure B replace C compensate D reduce
7 What causes water intoxication?
A Drinking too much water very quickly B Drinking polluted water
C Bacteria in water D Lack of water
8 What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?
A They do not need to eat much food B They can eat large quantitiesquickly
C They easily lose their appetites D They can travel long distances looking for food
Trang 79 Why does the author mention humans in the secondparagraph?
A To show how theyuse camels B To contrast them to desert mammals
C To give instructions aboutdesertsurvival D To show how they have adapted to desert life
10 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals?
A Variation in body temperatures B Eating while dehydrated
C Drinking water quickly D Being active at night

A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had to be abandoned The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo Instead of the skeletons
he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy How had they survived?
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the
“Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack
of summer and autumn rains They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter Cattle left outdoors
to fend for themselves thrived on this hay And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses
1 What does the passage mainly discuss?
A A type of wild vegetation B Western migration after Civil War
C The raising of cattle D The climate of the Western United States
2 What can be inferred by the phrase “Legend has it” in line 1?
A Most history book include the story of the train
B The story of the train is similar to other ones from that time period
C The driver of the train invented the story
D The story of the train may not be completed factual
3 The word “they” in line 4 refers to _
A plains B skeletons C oxen D Americans
4 What can be inferred about the “Great American Desert” mentioned in line 7?
Trang 14A Many had settled there by the 1860’s
B It was not originally assumed to be a fertile area
C It was a popular place to raise cattle before the Civil War
D It was not discovered until the late 1800’s
5 The word “barren” in line 7 is closed in meaning to _
A lonely B uncomfortable C infertile D dangerous
6 The word “preferred” in line 8 is closed in meaning to _
A favored B available C ordinary D required
7 Which of the following can be inferred about the cultivated grass mentioned in the second paragraph?
A Cattle raised in the Western United States refused to eat it
B It had to be imported into the United States
C It would probably not grow in the western United States
D It was difficult for cattle to digest
8 Which of the following was NOT one of the names given to the western grasses?
